Epilepsy Services

Our comprehensive epilepsy program offers a full-range of advanced care and services to control seizures and improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy. From initial evaluation to follow-up care, we promote the overall well-being of our patients and help them understand and live well with their condition. Our highly-trained and specialized team offers:

Thorough evaluation of seizure type and type of epilepsy for children and adults

Individualized treatment plans and follow-up care: based on the results of the EMU, patients may be further referred for neuro-psychological evaluations, sophisticated radiological & nuclear imaging (e.g. high resolution MRI, PET and Ictal SPECT)

When epilepsy surgery is not an option, we further evaluate for other treatment options such as the ketogenic diet, vagal nerve stimulator, or enrollment to clinical trials using novel anti-epileptic drugs
